NECKTIE-FORM.

Application filed June 2,

To all 1072012241 may concern Be it known that l, HARVEY StroNon. a subiect of the King of Great Britain. and a resident of the city of Toronto, in the county of York, Province of Qnta i0 Qanada. have invented ce ain new and useful Improvements in llec tie-Forms, of which the toilowing is a specification.

This invention relates to devices on which a tie can be made up and means of which it can be secured in place at the opening a turn down collar without any part of the tie being carried around the collar, and my ohiect is to devise a. form of the simplest possible construction. and therei cheap to manufacture, which is eas' y attached and detached, and which exposes no metal to 'iew when the tie is in place.

I attain my object by means of the constructions herein-otter descrihed and illu trated in the accompanying drawings in which Figure l Yided with and is a front elevation of a in form altachc il to a is plan view of the with a bow tie, the tie b61110 indica' e dotted lines, and showing the method 0 tachinent of the collar.

In the drawings like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the dill ent figures.

r116 form for how ties as shown in :2 is tern of an integral piece of spring metal. For convenience in describing the same. refer to this integral piece or metal as being formed of five parts, the two outer sections 1 being of equal length. The intermediate sections are also of equal length and of approximately the same length as the outer sections 1. The central section 3 1s prefer-i y approximately as lon section 1 and one section 2 comoined.

The central section 3 is 0 gradual bend to suit the shaj e oi the collar with which it is to used.

The intermediate sections back on the central section 3, lr'le the outer sections 1 are doubled back in the opposite direction on the intermediate sections As in this case the iorin-is secured to the ends of the turned-clown portion of the collar, and not to the collar button it is important that the portions 1 he very tightly against the portions 2 in order that the ends 2 are doubled Specification of Letters Patent.

of the collar may be held firmly between them. I find, however, that best results are attained by having the portions 1 contact with the portions 2 at one point only, a short distance back from the ends, leaving a gradually widening opening between the portions 1 and 2 from their point of contact with one another to the bend joining these two portions. I find that this special shap- Jng assists greeltly in giving the how a proper appearance.

In order that the ends of the collar may be more easily guided between the pertions 1 and 2, I prefer to flare the ends 5 of the portions 1 slightly outwardly and to form loops 6 at the point of connection of the portions 2 and 8, these loops being slightly inclined 1n the opposite direction to the flared ends 5.

The tie will be secured to the form by means or stitches passing around the por tions 1 close to their connection with the portions 2., and also by stitches passing through holes formed in the dared ends 5. The band I of the tie will also preferably pass around the portion 3.

Yfhat 1 claim as my invention is 1. A tie form formeo or" an integral piece of spring metal bent back upon itself at each end to a point adjacent the center, and then back upon itself in the opposite direction to form jaws adapted to grip the ends of a collar; said form having a slight bend at its center the bent back portions lying upon its convex side.

2. tie form constructed as set forth in claim 1 in which the ends oi the piece of metal bent slightly outwardly to form a. flaring mouth for the jaws.

3. A. tie :torin constructed as set forth in claim 1 in which the ends of the piece or"; metal are bent slightly outwardly and a loop is formed at each of the first mentioned bends and inclined slightly inwardly to form a flaring mouth for the jaws.

A tie form constructed as set forth in claim 1 in which there a gradually widening opening between the jaws from their gripping point to their point of connection.
